POEM:

I love you Mario Benedetti Your hands are my caress my daily reminders I love you because your hands work hard for justice if I love you, it's because you are my love my accomplice my all and out in the street arm in arm we are much more than two Your eyes are my lucky charm against the bad days I love you for your look that looks and seeds the future Your mouth that’s yours and mine Your mouth that’s never wrong I love you because your mouth knows how to yell like a rebel If I love you it's because you are my love my accomplice my all and out in the street

arm in arm we are much more than two And for your honest face and your vagabond step and your weeping for the world because you’re one of the people, I love you And because love is not a halo or a naïve moral and because we are a pair and know we’re not alone I love you in my paradise by which I mean my country where the people live happily even without permission If I love you it's because you are my love my accomplice my all and out in the street arm in arm we are much more than two.
